Good things for the month:
- Reached another monthly high with 89 miles.
- Despite the heat, only missed one training run (opted for an extra rest day vs. short recovery run)
- Had some very strong workouts at the track and did a much better job of committing to strength training.
- Introduced Saucony Kinvaras into the rotation and love the way they feel.
- Started working with Team Sony Walkman — (more on that to come)
- Lots of new followers — I so appreciate the support and encouragement!
Things I could do without:
- Have I mentioned the heat? Yeah…enough about that!
On the decks for August:
- Providence Rock’n’Roll Half is this Sunday!
- More strength training.
- Finalize my fall race plans.
How was your July — did you meet your goals?
Way to rock July Michelle!!! Good luck this weekend….Providence can be hot but pace yourself and stay hydrated! You’ll do awesome!!!
SUMMER IS STUPID! Nice July, keep looking forward to cooler temps in September to get you through the next 31 days 🙂
Another great month Michelle! Looking forward to see what August brings you.
In case I don’t get back here this week GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND! It sounds like you are ready to rock!
You’re such a ROCKSTAR! Congrats on a great month.

Great quick recap of July! Awesome job on your mileage!! That’s almost a 5k a day. HEYO! These days, that is mileage that this pregnant runner is *seriously* envious of! And I totally feel you on the heat. It is getting to me too! Yesterday, the temperature here in Louisiana was “only” 96…but the “real feel” according to weather.com was 109! 1-0-freaking-9! UGH. I’m definitely ready for fall already.
Glad to hear you are rocking the Saucony Kinvaras! I heart them…big time! Did you get the Kinvaras or the new Kinvara 2s? There isn’t much of a difference. The new Kinvara 2 changes are mostly in design but not overall function of the shoe.
GOOD LUCK at the Providence RnR halm marathon this Sunday! Can’t wait to read a race recap! Most importantly, have fun!
